Spinal Injury Sangh Nepal (SISN), is a registered non-profit organisation that seeks to roll back, as far as possible, the despair that burdens victims of spinal injury and their families. Its inception stems from the visionary idea of Kanak Mani Dixit, the founder, who himself overcame a broken back sustained in a trekking accident in August 2000. Representing a diverse array of prominent and socially conscious individuals from Nepal, the founding members of SISN collectively strive to mitigate the challenges faced by those affected by spinal injuries and other neurological disorders. Currently, SISN manages two impactful projects aimed at enhancing the lives of individuals impacted by spinal injuries and other neurological disorders.
